Yikes! The past few nights have been horrendous. Let me tell you…I have woken up in a state of sheer panic with a total sense of doom. What are these terrors about you ask? THE WEDDING…cue twilight zone/ jaws music. Mayo Clinic (2010) describes night terrors as the following:
“Night terrors are episodes of fear, flailing, and screaming while asleep. Night terrors often are paired with sleep walking. Although night terrors are more common in children, they also affect adults. A night terror episode usually lasts only a few minutes.”
While I am not sleep walking, I am pretty sure I flail and scream. Positive I screamed last night. My night terrors about the wedding range from the invitations to the ceremony. Last night I dreamt that it was the day before the wedding and we were just sending out invitations. The day of the wedding we did not have the programs printed and two groomsmen did not have their tuxes. In this past week I dreamed that my mom picked out all the music without asking me and it was so random and not wedding-like. Last night the caterer did not show up, we were locked out of the reception venue with only hours to spare, and my sister’s hair was awful. Usually if I am having a bad dream I can wake up and snap out of it…not these terrors! It is like pushing pause on TiVo, as soon as I fall back to sleep it starts back up right where it left off. It is driving me insane.
The first thing I did this morning was text my mom to share these terrible dreams. She thinks I am just stressing out because everything I am worried about are things that are not quite final. We haven’t sent out invitations, but are planning to the second week of April seeing as how the wedding isn’t until June. We decided to wait until a couple weeks before to print programs in case something comes up/ things change/ someone has to back out, etc. The groomsmen are being total delinquents and only three out of seven have been fitted for their tuxes (HINT HINT HINT). We do not know for sure when we will get the reception venue as we have to wait until a week before to see if it is rented on Friday night…if not we can get it that night, if it is, we get it Saturday morning at 9. I know my mom would never pick out music without asking me! The caterer is booked, we just have to have our “final” meeting. And as far as my sister’s hair…I don’t know about that one. We both missed Hair 101 in girl school so maybe that’s where it is stemming from…who knows.
So here lies the question…is this normal? Am I really just stressing out over the little details and driving myself crazy? Does this mean my wedding will actually be fine? Please, oh please, give me good news! Thanks for reading my rambles and Happy Saturday!
I had a dream that I tripped while entering the chapel and just sat on the floor. Even worse, no one was surprised. Gah, I've got to find some shoes....preferably wedges!
ReplyDeleteI think it is all perfectly normal! Don't stress too much! The funny thing is I actually had two groomsmen that didn't have their tuxes the day of the wedding because they were messed up when they went to pick them up. They were playing golf (around the corner from the venue in Bartlett) and had to go back to Southaven to get those and then to Olive Branch to get the keg. I was freaking out! Everything worked out great though so don't stress too much! Let me know if you need anything! I will do my very best to help you! I can't wait to see you all dolled up!
ReplyDeleteaw tayra it's going to be fine and we're all going to have a great time just getting to hang out again! I'm so excited!
